A clever ad campaign has caught Londoners attention by threatening to deport Pokémon Go! characters as a ploy for getting attention for a petition demanding that EU Citizens be allowed to stay in the UK with the same rights as pre-BREXIT had allowed them. The signs were spotted all over London Monday, from the London Eye to Tube Stations:

The #POKEMONGOHOME Campaign has garnered a ton of attention...

So even though we love and adore THESE guys...

...Go Sign The Petition to guarantee EU Nationals a right to remain in the UK, because people are definitely better than freakin' Pidgeys.

The campaign aims to close the wage gap by crowd funding an admittedly ludicrous number: $29,811,746,430,000. That number represents how much women lose when each of the US's 69 million female workers are paid nearly $500,000 less than men over their working careers.

The money raised from the Equal Payback Project will go towards funding the National Women's Law Center – a non-profit that works against employment discrimination and focuses on legislative issues to promote gender equality.

Old Spice and the Portland-based ad agency Wieden + Kennedy have teamed up again for its latest digital campaign "Believe in Your Smellf," which features a web-based video game starring the retired NBA star Dikembe Mutombo who must save the world from the Mayans' doomsday prophecy by taking on a series of odd missions like stopping Americans from dancing to "Gangnam Style" and defending the planet from the invasion of mysterious monster-like creatures known as "Blurgies."

The latest meme workshop from Reddit is based on an Associated Press photograph of President Obama on the phone at a campaign fundraiser event in Orlando, FL. According to ABC News reporter Devin Dwyer, the photograph was taken right after Obama realized that he had called the wrong number, who was quoted as saying:

"Hi is this Ann? Hi, is this Ann? Oh, I'm sorry, I must have the wrong number."

Well, if the President of the United States calls you by accident, I guess you just gotta deal with it.

President Barack Obama visited Gator's Dockside, an Orlando sports bar, Saturday night as part of a bus tour of Florida. One young boy in the crowded restaurant, Andre Wupperman, hails from Hawaii, which led Obama to flash him a shaka hand sign -- the Hawaiian "hello".

Wupperman responded in kind, to which Obama playfully replied: "You were born in Hawaii? You have a birth certificate?"

We'll just assume Obama didn't make young Andre produce documentation.
